‘Full and comprehensive’ US-UK trade deal confirmed

  • The UK and US will announce a trade deal on Thursday, reducing tariffs imposed by Trump last month.
  • The deal is a win for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has maintained a diplomatic relationship with Trump.
  • The US president declared “full and comprehensive” trade agreement “will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come”.
  • While the deal mitigates the impact of recent tariffs, it may not provide a significant economic boost.
  • The agreement is the first since Trump's "liberation day" tariffs disrupted global markets.
  • The UK government has ruled out lowering food standards or weakening online safety regulations as part of the deal.
